Which is also when they hear another voice: "Anakin, please slow down!" Right before an older woman comes into view around the corner. 

"Mamaaaa!" she complains. "I go at normal speeds. And I found a kitty me! And a my sis and a you and a Shmi and a my mom!" 

"She was going downright slow," Ruby agrees, before headbutting the smol her. 

Giggle!!!

"Oh, if she's slow, that's alright." Still, she'll briskly walk up, on the off chance she needs to grab her imp of a child. 

"No harm, no foul."

Good, time for kitty cuddles. (She'll graciously let her sis's alt hog the belly fluff.)

She's willing to share! It is a very big kitty belly, after all. (As long as Ruby is okay.)

Oh Ruby is more than fine with this! In fact: "I can do rides, if your mom approves," she teases.

Gasp!!

Heavy sigh. "I'll approve of it for tomorrow afternoon, if you get all your homework done by lunch."

"I'll work the hardest."

"I'll believe it when I see it, fuzzball."

Eh, she's too happy about belly fluff to even pretend to be annoyed. 

Too cute.

"So, I take it you're our latest set of alts?"

"Apparently. I'm Ellie or Ereshkigal, this is Lily or Artist, and that's Daniella or Incandesce or Rose. Not sure if you already met Ruby?"

She shakes her head. "The local Anakin warned me another Anakin'd arrived, so I took my daughter on a walk to give her some space..."

Smolakin's mother's a Lily, right? She's definitely not an Ellie or Contessa alt. So: "Eh, we dropped in on Jedi Lily, she was basically okay with it? Though yeah maybe good to not immediately overwhelm us... And I pulled her girlfriend over earlier, think they're still cuddling. So don't, like, think you need to keep avoiding the house."

Pained smile. "Thank you. I'll still check with the local Anakin..."

"Sure." 

"Sounds like the logistics here are a little convoluted."

"Villa apparently wasn't rented with a whole massive group in mind – I was thinking we might try to renovate that pyramid over there? At least for like, Artist's workshop."

"Be careful with it – I'm fairly sure it's an old spaceship. We were doing archeological work there when my daughter managed to engage a cross-universe teleportation drive."

"Some of the excavated rooms might be appropriate, though, depending on what you mean by 'workshop.'"

"I've got a power – that's an Earth Bet thing, where I'm from, idiosyncratic superpowers – anyways, it helps me with biotech stuff. Gets kinda wet, but I know how to mitigate that so I'm not spilling biohazards everywhere – I'm working to develop better medical tech." 

"That'd be useful – we have some technology I can at least get schematics, maybe outright examples of for you to study, too."

"...And one of the Anakins – Vader – she's... She's in a life support suit. If there's anything you can do for her, even just to make her life support less intrusive..."
